hmm.. i did this one, too... but with XP.. so at least there�s two of us..
boot the linux installation CD. choose expert install, when it goes into the partition manager, tell it NOT to format ANY partitions. when it asks you which packages to install, of course, select none. right from there, you can skip parts of the installation by clicking the column of yellow stars at your left. go to the one that says something like "boot loader" ..and there you go. reinstall lilo. :o) this worked for me.. just be careful not to format any partitions. see ya. >From: Pauljames Dimitriu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: [newbie] HELP: I Lost LILO >Date: Sat, 8 Dec 2001 03:28:43 -0800 (PST) > >Hello, > > I did something silly.
